Refunds and Withdrawals

Fees are not refundable unless withdrawing prior to Week 1. To
be eligible for a refund, the student must fill out an official
withdrawal form in the Registration Office, obtain appropriate
departmental signatures, and submit the completed withdrawal form
to the Registrar. This procedure is the same for all programs. The
refund policy for the Prerequisite program has different withdrawal
deadlines since the program is comprised of "mini-terms." Consult
the Academic
Bulletin for specific Prerequisite withdrawal deadlines.

Exit Counseling

Students who withdraw from National University, graduate, or do
not return to complete a program who were recipients of federal
funds from the Stafford, Direct, Perkins, or Graduate PLUS programs
are required to complete exit counseling. Graduate professional
students attend an exit counseling session prior to graduation and
undergraduate students complete online exit counseling. Students
are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid with any
questions about loan repayment options. Learn more »
